Only about half the women who have beauty enough to go to the dev il have got brains enough to take a inuu along.

No matter bow old she is,' a wom an will always claim that a man never begins to be really dangerous till lie is past her own age.

You are much more liable to dis ease when your liver anb bowels do not act properly. DuVVitt’s Little Early risers remove the cause of dis ease. It. L. Hicks. In Wichita county, Kivnsas, recent ly a young woman died leaving a lover and a brother, who are not good friends. The sweetheart or- dt red a handsome headstone for the gii I’s grave, and now the brother has gone into court for an injunction to prevent the erection of the proposed memorial.

From the latest official reports in llw British war office it is ascertained that the total killed, wounded and missing among the army during act ions in South Africa, up to March 81 w as 1,U!)3 officers and 27,952 non commissioned officers and men. In addition 711 officers and 16,981 non commissioned officers and men have died of wounds or disease, making the total casualties foot up to the uuormous total of 47,(187. “Our little girl was unconscious from strangulation during a sudden and terrible attack of croup. 1 quickly secured a bottle of One Min ute Cough Cure, giving her three doses The croup was mastered and o ,r little darling speemly recdvjred.” So w rites A. L. Stafford, Chester, .Michigan. K. L. llieks. A Pennsylvania lawyer has inven ted an apparatus which may prove a boon to suffering .humanity. It is an automatic speech-blocking device, designed tv) cut off afte-dinner speak ers, political debaters and others when they have spoken to the limit, of the time allowed them. Ihns, if .Dr. Chauiicey M. Depew were on the card for a five-minutes’ talk, the bell would ring when his time was up, ami keep ringing until he had taken bis seat. The beneficent possibilities ul the invention can, therefore, be appreciated at a glance. Between tunes, when “there were no dinner speeches and legislative debates for the uistr intent to .keep tab on, it might be employed in timing prize lights.—Ex. T>.X\K Olt-OVTI’l'T. All who have visited the Beau mont district in Texas and seen the flowing oil wells are amased. One well is flowing at the rate ol 72,000 parrels a day, and there are ten otb ers which are making w< mlerful rec ords. It looks as if the Beaumont wells, the number of which is in creasing all the time, would have a very marked effect upon manufactur ing in the South, particularly in Texas. If, as believed, oil will become the fuel of industries and also of rail ways in tlie near future, and can he had in almost unlimited quantities at a price that will make it attract ive to manufacturers and railway mauageis, the South is going to he greatly bent fitted by the Beaumont discovery. We publish some figures showing that the oil can be sold in Pittsburg so as th compete with coal in that city. That being the case, it is evi dent that it can tie sold anywhere in the South, except in territory imme diately around coal mines, hi compe tition with coal. No doubt it will be possible to sell it at a profit at pri ces so low that it will be cheaper to use it than coal. The building of factories is going on now at a rapid rate. It is proba ble that in each new factory provis ion will be made for both coal and oil as (uel. With cheap fuel and labor less costly, all tilings consid ered, than labor at the North, the progress ol the South in manufactur mg will be such as to astonish the World. It is not known yet j ;st what can be done with tin! Beaumont oil. Ex periments are being made, however, by able chemists, and in a short lime all of its properties will lie fully ap parent. It is safe to say that it will turn out that the oil is far more val liable than it was Lho.ghl to be when discovered. There does not seem to be any fear that the Beaumont will give out in the near future. In fact, the big gest of tiie wells there are yielding more oil a day than when they were opened. It is estimated that the yield is now almost sufficient now to satisfy the world's demand, at the present rate of consumption, but if the oil comes into more general use as a fuel it is believed that the oil field will be developed so that its product will meet any demand that may be made upon it.—Savannah News. A IIOIBI.K llt'TV. The New York World says: “In some Washington book stores can stiil be bought the school history of the United 8ta’es written by Alex- 1 under H. Ltephens for southern cliil- dien eight years after war.” j Stephen's School History of the United States is still used largely, | though not as much as it once was. It is remarkably impartial, consid- ' ering the fact that it was written bv I the vice president of the Confederacy and very soon after the' war. There is another class of school histories on sale in the south which is rapidly disappearing. We refer to those pre tended histories which have been worked off in localities where teach* ers and school boards have tailed t<> perform their duty intelligently and taitlifiiilv. They are grossly parti san, recklessly false aud bitterly sec tional. During the past year many of these frauds have been kicked out of southern schools and we trust that their complete and final extermina tion in the south will soon be accom plished. The south does not ask for school histories which shall be partisan in her favor, but she does ask, nay, she demands, that the histories taught in her schools shall not contain lies about the causes or the conduct of the civil war. The Wash’ngtonj D. C., board of education set a fine example a few days ago when, on motion ol General Boynton, a gallunt Union veteran, it ordered that all teaching of history relating to American history be sus pended in the Washington schools until tiie publishers of the histories now used should correct the many errors they contain relative to tiie civil war period or until truthful and accurate histories could be obtained. It is our duty both to those who made the history of that stormy period and to those who are to come after us to protect and preseVve the truth of history.—Atlanta Journal. .VOW AM) THICK. The Chicago Chronicle neatly ex poses the hypocrisy of those organs sectional hate m ti e north w hose chief aim is to misrepresent evei>- thiug that occurs in the south and to pervert its significance. The Chron icle sa\s: “A few- years ago, when a Demo cratic president was greeted at the south by ex-Coufederate soldiers car rying tiie battle fiat's of. the lost cause most of the Republican organs saw nothing in tiie circumstances but the undying disloyalty of the men who had once been in t arms against the Federal government. Now that Mr. McKinley receives similar w'ei- oomes and even refers sentimentally to tiie tattered emblems oh revolt we are informed that it is all highly sig nificant of a leuuiied coimtrv . Tin re w ere just as many evidences of re- j union and good fellowship in .Mr. . Cleveland’s day as there are at this j mue. The only change is in the i spirit of the par.isuu Republican ! commentators at tee north.’* I*..V\T KICK. SPA.MSH t\ All PKKSIOKS. I Although it is less than three years since the w»ar with Spain be gan, there have been already almost 41,01)0 applications for pensions filed on account of it, aud this exclusive of service in the Philippines. It is estimated that the total number of men in the war on the American side was 274,717, though of this I number only about 60,000 were'act- . ually engaged. It will be seen there- | fore, on this basis, that, for every six men who actualy saw service there have been four applications for pen sions. In tiie light of these figures it is j not at all surprising that the pension ! agents are extremely anxious that j Commissioner Evans be removed j from the pension office, where he j now stands as at least a partial bul- ! wark against the granting of dishon- , est claims. I Commissioner Evans recently slated thai lie did not think that the suldiers themselves were as much to blame for this flood of applications as were the pension agents. As soon ! as a man came home from the army he was pounced upon by these solici tors, who argued to the soldiers that 1 as long as the money was in the treasury the might as well have it as anybody else. This, lie claims, ac counts for the large number of ap plications, manv ot which were in duplicate, coming from different agents, the second agent probably arguing wit.i the soldiers that lie had a better pull at \V ashiugtou, than had the first. —Boston Herald.
